In its issue of last Tuesday the Cal-

a gigantie piece of fraud and. misrep-
resentation on the part of an. army ‘of

stock. selling salesmen for the Canad- |

jan Farm Implement Company of
Medicine Hat.

It appears that the Canadian Farm
Implement Co., in order to complete
their agreement to purchase “ lant
of the Alberta Poukdey €o., had to
raise the necessary capital b selling
additional stock. To do this they env-
ered into an underwriting agreement
with Russell & Co., of Chicago, and,
the Industrial Finance Corporation of;
Vancouver,

of the underwriters and neither the
Canadian Farm Implement Co., the
Iberta Foundry Co., nor any of their
officers have any responsibility as to
the methods adopted. nor any control
as to the amount the stock sold fo..
So far as they, are concerned their
only interest fs in receiving the $1.00
par value of each share, less fi

According to the Herald these sales
men have selling the dollar par
value woe ir $2.00 a share and that
more ¢ alf of this amount went

to the underwriters and their sales-

men, only 87e going to the company.
it is also charged that these sales

men made definite guarantees to pur-

however, will be about two weeks lat-

Saturday, April 19th, 1924,

In spite of the open fall, very little;
fall plowing was done last year, ow-|
ing to the prolonged harvesting of the
heavy crop. The summerfallow ready

Livestock was never in better con-

produced last season, and the mildness
of the winter ‘has brought. them
through the winter season in excellent

There has been a brisk demand for
farm labor and the provincial labor

t of hands, many of whom are im-
migrants from European countries.
peant demand is continuing to a certain
extent.

“Western Canadian”

H.W. Wood, president of the United.
Farmers of Alberta, said it was “utter
nonsense” on the part of any one to
suggest that wheat grown in Alberta

assing through Vancouver should be
coco as Vancouver” wheat.

“I can-only conceive of but one or

two men in Vancouver making such a
suggestion,” he said. “The thing is
unthinkable.” 2

Mr. Wood added that he did not
think the question would ever reach
the stage where it would be seriously
considered.

Similar views to these were expres»
ed by a number of the members of the
Calgary Grain Exchange.

In some quarters, however, it is felt
that the existing denomination 1
wheat wn in Alberta should be
chan, At the present time, it is
known as “Manitoba,” which is almost
as misleading at ifit were callea
“Vancouver.” The eral feeling o1
grain men is that wheat grown in A:-
berta and Saskatchewan should
known as “Western Canadian.” They
mention that pageresenny as time wenv
on there would be a much larger pro-
portion of Saskatchewan wheat shipp-
ed by the western route than at pres.
ent, and that such a denomination
would very well cover the provinces.

‘Should Accept Report
Says British Premier

“Take the reparation experts’ re
as a whole and-put it into operatien
and all at once, with everybody back
of it,” was the course advoeated by
Prime Minister MacDonald, in ad-
dressing a crowded Labor meeting in
York, England, He urged that the al-
lies should accept Germany's word and
advocated her admission in the League
of Nations as another step for bring-
ing peace to the continent.

In urging unity among the allies
in applying the plan outlined by the
report, Mr. McDonald said it was
clear from that document that if they
went on for another two years and
carried out the policy that her been
practiced for two or three years past,
there would be no hope of relief, no
hope of reparation and none for secur-
ity of peace. To take the chance that
was now offered and put the plan inte
operation, as a whole, and then “go
on and finsh the job and bring penee
and security to the continent” was
what he cared about and what he was
going to work for.

RED-ROSE ORANGE PEKOE

The. Time pe Get Bas

With the month of March drawing to a close Western Canada makes

rewdy for that annual: renewal of activities characteristic of the country.
While all Canada is, broadly speaking, a country of seasonal occupations, this
is especially true of the Western prairie provinces. In the East manufactur-
ing proceeds throughout thé year, but the greatest period of activity is in the
summer; The men who labor in the lumber mills in the summer, disappear
in the woods during the winter felling thé trees to make summer operations
in the mills possible. But even in the East the coming of Spring means the
beginning of real activity.

Here in the West, with the exception of coal mining in Alberta, the com-
ing of Spring is the signal not only for the commencement of farm operations,
but for renewed building operations, the carrying forward of municipal works
of all kinds,.road building, railway construction—in a word, all those activi-
thes to which a. stop is put during winter weather,

It means the opening of navigation on Canada’s lakes and rivers, the
inauguration of the immigration rush, a veritable Rip Van Winkle awakening
from the slumber of winter.

“And with this great awakening at hand it behooves the people of Canada
to resolve as individuals. and as a ‘nation to make the most of 1924. New
Year's Day may fall on January 1, but Canada’s real New Year's comes with
the passing of winter and its more or less enforced saipeaoee and the advent
of Spring with all its opportunities and possibilities.

The year presents itself as one full of promise. Business conditions
throughout the Dominion have been steadily improving. “Betterments have
been recorded from month to month for some time past in Canadian trade
returns, in Bank Clearings, in railway earnings, in the deelining number of
commercial failures, in all those things whereby we measure the material
progress and welfare of a country.: _And the. business barometer is raising;
it indicates fair weatMer ahead. °

Coupled with. these favorable signs is a grim determination in evidence
in all directions to “go easy” in the matter of immediately unnecessary ex-
penditures and the accumylation of debt. The watchword in Canada today

s ‘strict economy” consistent with efficiency and service.. The popular de-
mand is not for further large public expenditures, wltiech means more debt, but
retrenchment and debt reduction leading to lessened taxation.

These are all favorable Symptoms in the body politic. But something
more is required to provide that added impetus so essential to a real revival
of productive actiyity thrqughout the whole Dominion. With the commence-
ment of building operations each year, there crops up the question of wage
schedule, hours and. conditions of Jabor,. etc., elec. After a winter of idleness,
artizans,and laborers under the direction of their Union leaders, make de-
mandé& for the maintenance of wages at the old war-time peak. The miners
ask for it, so do the lumbermen, and the transportation workers, and finally
the artizan and laborer. - The net result is that building costs are sé hign
that construction works of all kinds are discouraged and abandoned because
it-becomes unprofitabde for the man with money to invest to proceed.

Instead of the wheels of industry beginning to revolve and gather momen-
tum as they, should, they are clogged at outset; instead of employment be-
coming general, another ‘period of almost winter stagnation ensues. Vatu-
fble time is lost and a month or more of our all too short building season is
gone before anything worth while can be accomplished.

The workers are thus Standing in their own light and sacrificing their own
best interests. Acceptance of a somewhat lower and more reasonable wage
in view of existing conditions would soon develop a situation where there
would be steady employment for-all; work ®ould be available earlier in the
year and with the volume of work started would continue later in the Fall.
In the long run each man would earn more in the season through the addition-
al length of time employed, while the number to be employed would be
vastly increased, = ‘

AS a ‘result of the greater aétiyity, larger sums of money would be placed
in active circulation, all business would benefit, and, because of larger turn-
overs. by merchants, prices of negessities to the consumer would be lowered,
thereby giving a-greater purchasing ; power to the worker's ‘day's pay and
more than compensate for the fact that such pay was somewhat smaller than
he was inclined to démand. ;

The best interests of our people, and of Canada as a country @émands'
that, with the opening of our annual season of activity, every person get to

_ work just as quickly as possible and work prith diligence and unremitting
‘vigor until winter again steps in and ¢érys a ‘halt, What Canadians should
aim at this year is not a minimum of working hours, but the full maximum
of which they are capable consistent with proper protection of health and
the unimpairment of their mental faculties and physical strength. ~

Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills do ‘one
thing, and do it well, They build up
the plood, increasing the number of
red €grpuscles. As this is done the

improves in quality the tissues of the

due to. poor, thin blood, and. it is also
the reason why they are so successful
in building up strength after fevers
and acute diseases. Among those

War On Drag Evil

Federat Department Undertakes
Suppression of Drug Traffic

Since June, 1919, when the Domin-
ion Government undertook the sup-
pression of the drug traffic on an ex-
tensive scale, the scope of the work
has steadily increased, states F. W.
Cowan, chief of the narcotic division
of the department of health. Until
the nations of the world undertook to
co-operate in the stamping out of the
illicit trading in drugs, no one was
fully aware of the extent to which the
traffic was being carried on. During
the past. few years there has been
more mutual understanding between
countries in endeavoring. to catch the
big dope dealers than ever before.

The result of this co-operation be-
tween the governments and police of
nations has been that the actual ar-
rests and convictions in Canada have
not increased materially. The fed-
eral department by working with the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police has
directed its efforts chiefly to the
shadowing and arresting of the men
“higher up” who in many cases are
hot addicts themselves but merely
direct and carry on the business
negotiations of the illicit trading. The
actual shadowing and arresting of ad-
dicts and small pedlars. has been left
for the most part to the various local
police forces. Only in such cases as
may lead to the conviction of the men
who are the centre of the big rings
does the federal department take an
active part.

In November of this year the opium
committee of the League of Nations
Council will: meet to determine, if
possible, the actual quantity of opium
required for legitimate purposes in
the world. It is hoped that this will
lead eventually to- restrictions upon
the commercial production. While
there are drastic regulations in some
countries regarding jhe sale and im-
portation of narcotics authorities are
often working in the dark because
drugs can be brought into a country
in bond under disguises of lawful
manufactured goods and then shipped
to another country and accordingly it
is almost impossible to maintain any
effective record of the drugs in cir-
culation. Canada is playing an ac-
tive part in the international fight

German Ships at Scapa Flow to be

It is stated that the contract be-

No doubt.a great many of the read-
ers. of this have grown flowers
around their homes with considerable
success, but -to..those who are still
doubtful LT would suggest a Visit to the
many public gardems in our cities and’
to our government stations, not to
mention the numerous private gardens
which are being constructed in larger
numbers every year.

Having decided to make a flower
garden you will have to choose the
style of garden you want and where
you will ‘have it.. I would recommend
what. is known as the “mixed border” |
rather than formal flower beds, it be-
ing léss trouble and-cost to maintafn |
and more in keeping with. the general |

surroundings. Place the border to

the side or back of the lawn and do
not make it too prominent a feature
in the front yard.
- or course you will have to look to
the soil, you don’t want it too light
and sandy, as it will not hold mois-
ture, neither do you want a heavy
clay which is too hard to work; but
you. Should aim to get a soit between
these two extremes, one that will be
rich and hold the moisture’ and easy
- to work. A heavy clay soi] can be
improyed by adding ‘plenty of manure.
The next consideration is the prep-
aration of the soil. This should have
_ been attended to last Fall, but we will
assume that you had not then decid-
ed ob making a garden, so that you
will not feel that you neglected an op-
’ portunity. However, as soon as the
frost is out of the ground sufficiently
this spring, I would advise you to have
it dug deeply with a fork or spade,
and if the soil be poor see that some
well-rotted manure is worked*in dur-
ing the digging process. © | :
As it is too early to start work on
the land, I would suggest that you se-
cure a seed catalogue from some re-
liable seedsman. | Now you will have

know what plants you want to grow.
Let us first consider the hardy an-
nuals as they are the easiest to grow.
They require no artificial aid, such as
hotbed or*greenhouse, but grow and
bloom freely in the open air.

as the ground can be worked freely.
The following kinds are-hest for the
prairie country: Sunflower, Sweet
Peas, Centaurea or Cornflower, Mari-
_gold,. Poppies, Caliopsie, ‘Dwarf and
Climbing Nasturtiums, Phlox, Drum-
mondi, Mignonette, Candytuft, Califor-
nia Poppy, Portulaca, Calendula: and
Sweet Alyssum.

If you wish to obtain extra early
bloom, you should sow seed of Mari
gold, Centaurea, Nasturtium and Phlox
indoors: in shallow boxes about the
middle of March. Put two or three
inches of sandy loam in the box, sow
your seed and cover twice the thick-
ness of the seed, pressing the soil
down with a board or the palm of
your hand. ‘ ;

When they are well out of the seed-
leaf they should be planted in other
boxes, in rows about three ifches
apart 10 allow them room to grow and
make strong plants. They should be
planted in their permanent places
about the middle of May.
Of the half-hardy annuals there are

“several that you can use to advantage
such ‘as Aster, ~Flowering Tobacco
Plant, Zinnia, Stock, Verbena, Petunia,
Pyrethrum (Golden Feather) and Lo-
belia. All of these can be raised in-
doors from seeds as outlined for the
hardy annuals but would advise plant-
ing them outdoors a little later, say

to stand a severe winjer. .

We will assume now that planting

When. -it comes to the actual ar-

lished they may be lifted and divided
and replanted. In this way your
stock of planis will continually sin-
crease so that after a few years you
will have to enlarge your’ border.

I will make a few remarks on the
general care Ofythe mixed border dur-
ing the growing season. As the seed-
lings come up they should be watch-
ed carefully, as they are liable to be
eaten off by cutworms; they must be
kept free from weeds, and when large
enough must be thinned to give them
growing room. - Neglect to thin them

It is the same idea as the headlighi

glass concentrating the beams,
an electric bulb and a concave mirror
to serve as a reflector,

The idea of light communication

It was considered possible to get the
necessary amount of light and to con
centrate it, but the problem has al-
ways been how to make a gigantic

erful to reflect the rays millions of
miles through the air.

States that the Soudan Government,
through Capt. E. C. Midwinter, gen:
eral manager of railways and steam:
ers, Soudan, Africa, has accepted a
tender from a British Columbia firm
for 150,000 railway ties of Douglas
fir. The contract expressly stipu-

of Canadian origin.

British Columbia’s . shipment 4 |
water-borne lumber to overseas mar-
kets totalled 521,707,182 board feet
last year, against 273,146,800 in
1922, an increase of 91 per cent.
This announcement was recently
made by the provincial minister of
lands and it is a remarkable index
of the rapid expansion of the lumber
industry in British Columbia.

Under a scheme inaugurated by
the Provincial Government it is an-
mounced that British Columbia will
advance loans up to $300 a family
to settlers from the Hebrides, on
condition that the British Govern-
ment advance a like amount, In
view of the present depression in

British Government will co-operate.

her face, he snatched off her hat, Then
with on insolent leering grin on his
face, he said, “I thought so.” Quick-
ly replacing it on her head, he said,
loud enough for all to ‘hear: “Young
fella, so that you will not put the
d——d Red Coats on our track, you
will come along with us to-night.”

After his close scruitiny of her face
she was conscious of the fact that he,
was aware of her sex. It was also.
clear to her that he desired to conceal
his discovery from the rest of his
companions. This added to her fear
of the man, but still she decided, in
the meantime, to submit to his orders.
Her feminine intuition warhed her
that discreet silence would be her saf-
est plan for the present. She had
nothing to expect nor hope for from
the other members of the gang, who
seemed to be acting under his orders.

Taking a lariat from one of the

she had abruptly dismissed him, re-
fusing his offered assistance, she still
felt assured that she would meet him
on her return home and would then
make amends for her seeming rude-
ness. She was aware that it was not
customary for strangets to pass their
home, after a long day’s journey, with-
out being offered the hospitality of a
night’s lodging. Those transient
travellers on many occasions, were
welcomed at her home. They proved
pleasing diversions from the general
routine and monotony of the lonely
lives.those early pioneers have had to
pass in a district remote from the
more congenial advantages of more
settled communities. Instead - of
those visits proving an inconvenience
they were often the source of con-
siderable social pleasure to them. As

then fastened the loop end of ‘the

holding the other end of the lariat,
joined his companions, who were by
now lounging on the ground a few
feet away.

Securely fastened as she was she
stood for some time leaning against
the tree, and after a while sat down.
As the twilight deepened she endeav-
ored to evolve in her mind a plan of
escape, but the more she thought of
her situation the more hopeless her

chances seemed’ to be. The only
avenue of escape that presented itself
to her was the hope that her father
would organize a search party for her.
rescue, but as this would take some
time to accomplish, it offered her
small consolation. By the time as-
sistance could be called by her father
these bandits woulé have taken her
many miles away from the scene of
the hold-up. She also feared. the
dangers that would attend an attempt
at rescue, She realized that she was
in the hands of desperadoes—men
who would not hesitate to commit;
murder to escape capture. In her
desperation she faced the tree to
which she was tied, and leaning
agdinst it, offered up a fervent silent
prayer to God for help, courage and
inspiration in her dangerous plight.
As she thus prayed, her hand came in
contact with an overhanging piece of
loose birch bark. . This she absently
stripped off the tree, and, later, slip-
ped it inte the pocket of her jacket.
Then turning around she sat down
with her back against the tree for
support.

A few feet away the men were en-
gaged in conversation carried on in

home. Her disposition. craved the
society of people of her own age, an
advantage that she did not, only a
limited extent, enjoy in her lonely sur-
roundings.

While she loved the freedom of the
life she led among the hills, the val-
leys and the lakes, and the surround-
ing. landscapes appealed to her aesthe-
tie tastes, yet there was the yearning
for companionship and the society of |
people of her own age and kind. In
her day dreams she pictured to her-
self the pleastires of the life she miss-
ed—a Hfe of more congenial human
surroundings, <A longing for that life

with her.

The prospects accordingly of a
pleasant socjal.evening with a young
‘stranger from the “outside’’ added
buoyancy to her elated. feelings, and,
in her abstraction, she spurred her
horse to greater speed as she proceed-
ed in her quest for the horses.

It was this feeling of elation that
was partly responsible for her failure
to examine more closely her sur-
roundings as she cantered in the
direction of two horses that she no-
ticed grazing close in to the edge of
a bluff some distance away. Confident
that they were the horses she was in
search of, she headed in that direc-
tlon, with an air of abstraction that
made her practically oblivious of any
danger that might be ‘lurking in the
vicinity.

As she rounded the edge of the bluff
she was startled from her reverie by
a hoarse command of, “Stop! ‘Put up
your hands.” The suddenness of this|
order roused her at once to action.
Her quick wits at a glance took in the
situation, and convinced her of the
futility of an attempt to escape or to}
offer resistance, All at once she
seemed to be surrounded by a band of

A Health Secret

It is frequently claimed by physicians that’ nine-tenths
of all human,ills may be traced to neglect to keep the
bowels regular and the liver and kidneys active.

The result is an accumulation of poisons in the system which

cause pains and aches and give rise to such dreaded diseases as
appendicitis, Bright's disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, ete.

Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills are the ideal regulators of these
vital organs because they act directly on the liver, kidneys and
bowels, and ensure a thorough —
cleansing of the system.

You will notice that while the
price of Dr. Chase’s Kidney-
Liver Pills has been increased

alert to all that passed around her,

she sat as the twilight of evening

When darknes shad descended
preparations were commenced for the

word was given, “All set,” the leader
approached her and loosened her

her horse. The fact that she was to
have her own horse to ride gave her
new hope, for, having confidence in
his, speed and training.she decided
that if the slightest-chance presented
itself she would make a dash _ for

actions of her captor. _ No sooner was

put a centre hitch on ft and tied it

Frank Rikert, Who Left

Wouldn’t Take $100 For

Frank Rikert, well-known resident
of North Sacramenta, Cal,, who catfite
to the state from Illinois in a covered
wagon in 1864, along with other hardy
pioneers, recently exhibited a. bottle
of Tanlac, wliich he had just purchas-
ed, to a friend at his home and re-
marked; “If I thought this was the
last bottle of Tanlac I would ever be
able to buy, I wouldn't take one hun-
dred dollars for it,” thus proving the
high valuation he places on the fam-
ous treatment. +

"I believe’ Tanlac really saved my
life when I took it after the Flu

Preparing A A Hotbed

Directions for Making the Frame and

“Start her at five thousand,” cried

Preparing the Seed Bed

Hotbeds gre a necessity with ex-
perienced gardeners and those with
gardens of such extent that the small
box in the window. of the dwelling is
impracticable- The first move in
constructing a hotbed is to obtain a
supply of manure to have ready to fur-
nish the heat. The easiest way to
heat a hotbed is with fresh horse
thanure’ properly treated. From 24

" to 36 inches of manure is necessary,

depending upon the earliness in start-
ing the bed and the temperature of the
section“in which it is located. Pile’
the manure in a flat-topped pile four
to six feet high. The manure should
be strawy.

If the weather is cold and fermenta-
tion is slow, a little warm water, suf-
ficient to moisten without soaking,
will hasten the procesé of heating. It
will be apparent from the steam aris-
ing from the pile. It will heat un-,
evenly at first and must be turned
from time to time to distribute thd
heating portions and get a uniform
fermentation, which will be indicated
by uniform steaming. At this stage
it is ready to put in the bed, laying
first a stratum of straw or dry leaves
to soften ‘the contact of the heating
manute and the cold earth,

The frame itself should be of the
standard dimensions of 6 feet by 3
feet oF in multiples of three in length,
as the standard sash is made in this
size. Inch lumber usually is used,
although if the hotbed is to be per-
manent, two-inch lumber is some-
times used. MHalfinch is easiest to
handle, but likely to warp. The back
is usually twelve inches high and the
front’ six inches. “ The frame should
always face south.

The frame is best made to knock
down unless it is desired to use it
the year round, putting it together
with screws and bolts. Angle irons
for the corners can be obtained cheap-
ly and drilled for bolts as desired. If
these are not available, two by fours
may be used to screw the sides in
place. The placing of the crosspiece
to hold the sash, if it is more than a
single-frame bed, is the most trouble-
some job.. The edges should be chan-
neled to carry off water seeping in
around the edges instead of permit-
ting it to drip into the bed and make
it too wet.

Double glass sash is advisable for
the hotbed as it obviates the necessity
of covering the frame With mats or
carpets during zero snaps. The layer
of non-conducting air between the
sashes serves the purpose excellently.
These sashes are heavy, however, and
some o fthe newer types are hinged
in the middle so that half can be rais-
ed at a time. ‘

The manure is placed in the bed
and tramped down firmly. Sift the
soil, if possible, -placing the coarser
material upon “the manure in a thin
layer. Over this spread*the sifted
soil to a depth of four or five inches.
Place the sashes upon the frame and
place a thermometer in the bed. It
should be thrust through the earth
down to the manure. It will beat
very vigorously for a few days and
then begin to subside. As it passes
below 90, seed such as tomatoes, pep-
pers and other tropical plants may be
put in, and the rest after it passes
below 80.

In Europe

Every man who smokes owes a debt |

of gratitude to Francisco Fernandes.
The commencement of the use of to-
bacco by civilized has been
traced back to its introduction in Bur-

Fernandes was sent by King Philip
Second: of Spain to investigate the
products of Mexico. As a result of
his explorations Francisco Fernandes
took the tobacco plant to Europe in
1558, for the first time on record, The
use of tobacco in England dates from
{586 and the name of Sir Walter
Raleigh is associated with its intro-
duction there. =

At first the plant was supposed to
possess almost miraculous — nealing
powers, and the poet Spencer called it
“divine tobacco.” Millions 6f people
Since those days have realized that
tobacco is ‘a sweetener” of their lot

Aircraft For Forests

| Ontario to Have Largest Commercial
| Aircraft System in the World
With a view to giving greater pro-

| tection to Ontario’s vast forest areas,

thirteen hydroplanes of Class A, HS
| 2-L type, have been purchased by the
Proyincjal Government of Ontario, ac-
cording to a press despatch, and will
be put Into service on May 1 next. It
Ms hoped thus to renew the confidence
‘of those investing large sums. of
money in the organization and opera-
tion of pulp and paper industries and
| sfwmills. "When the present plans
| are completed and the air force organ-
jized for operation, Ortario probably
| will have the largest commercial air-

craft system in the world. z
Of the sum of $1,100,000 spent dur-
jing the year 1923 to fight fires in the
' province, a large percentage was paid
‘in wages, afd, with the éxception of
| $86,000 spent for alreraft patrol work,
| the remainder was expended in the
‘upkeep of an organized land patrol.
The department believed that, even
with so great an expenditure, only a

small portion of the northern area of

| treet land was. properly patrolled,
and, with the adoption of aireraft, it
| is intended to divide the northern for-
est areas into districts. :

In addition to giving adequate pat-
rol service and protection to an area
several times as large as that now
patrolled, it is estimated that the
| province will save by the use of alr-
leaft, at least $250,000 per annum.
